Oh, this is wonderful! It actually reminded me of a conversation i had with my husband just before we go married. We were sitting in a resturant two months before we got married, and he asked me if i would consider trying for a baby there and then before the wedding. He loved the idea of me walking down the aisel and him knowing i was pregnant but no one else knowing. It considered it as i loved the idea, but we were flying to mauritius for our honeymoon and i didnt want to risk the chance of being sick the whole time. We talked for hours in the resturant about names, what our babies would look like, what we would do with them. We then walked hand in hand home, giddy like anything that we were soon going to be married and start a family. I loved just staying awake until the early hours of the morning, talking about our future and now, our future is here and we are living our dream that we talked about many times!!!!x

Ahhh, that's such a lovely little story. When we were still at university we used to talk about having a little boy with our little man's name. I still feel like I have to pinch myself that I have him in my life now. x

This post made me feel all teary and then Kerri-Anne's comment below just set me off. I feel exactly the same. Our life is simple, but we are living our dream. Of course I would like to go on some nice holidays, and eventually buy a bigger house, but they are just material things. I am living my happy dream and I don't ask for much. I think thats why we get on so well, we both realise how lucky our ordinary lives are. x

I just loved this. My dreams haven't all come true yet, but one day they will. For now, I'm just enjoying the journey and taking the time to stop and smell the flowers. And I'm sorry but Beautiful Boy's flip-flops make me die - so darn cute! xx

What a lovely post. It's so nice to hear that someone is just where they want to be. I often feel that my dreams have come true. I have two beautiful children, an amazing husband and a house I love. Everything I always wanted. I am a very lucky woman x x x

your words ring so true Lucy. whenever anyone asks me what i want for a gift for christmas or my birthday I cannot think of anthing because i always think about what I would like to give the boys.Whenever i am browsing magazines or the internet it is them that I see benefitting from items i see. Thats what makes becoming a parent so wonderful, all your own dreams change and our children are the focus of them insread. My dreams came true having my boys and I am so glad that all of yours have come true too Lucy. x xbeautiful photos of your gorgeous children too :)

This is such a beautiful post. I often find myself wondering what the future holds, in-visioning that moment we own our own home and can decorate it as we like. All we have is the here and now, and your completely right. We should live it for what it is! x
